Struggling with finding any usable loot... any advice?

[Deathjester]

Guys,
I am trying to run a monk, not selling anything, just trying to play around botting with 1 Monk acct (Did level all the rest to 60).

I have been doing Sarkoth runs for a over a week a 4+ hours a day and I have not found anything at all to help me try to get to Act 2 or better.

Monk currently:
12k damage
16k life
150 Gold Find
120 Magic Find
Shield
750 damage blue fist weapon.
500 Resist all

Not a single item used has been found, I have only been able to upgrade 300k at a time buying what I can from the AH.

Can you guys give me any advice at all, wondering if I am doing something wrong here?

Thanks in advance!
J

I reckon bot for gold and just buy what you need.

Well supposedly item identification is bugged, most likely the reason you are not getting anything good

I am pretty much sitting here checking it every so often. Initially I saw it leave a bunch of rares, but when I picked them up, they were all level 57-59, so they were garbage. I have only seen it leave random tome or gem so I am pretty sure it is taking everythign good.

Just seems like I am breaking even just to improve gold find, but even at that, I will have to replace it all when I can afford GF higher than 20 on items.

It will take forever to be able to afford a decent weapon Prices are crazy.

Well, bot about 5 mil, that should get you a half decent starter GF set, then slowly upgrade it as you bot more and more gold, in a week or so you should be hitting 650 GPH.

Trying Seems like everytime I save a lil cash, goto AH, and the crap has doubled! Oh well, still fun just putzing around. I will get a decent set one of these days.

Currently at 209% GF 96% MF Just gotta find affordable rings and I shold be doing better. THanks guys!

Botting for gold, with the current inflation, is going to take a while with only one account. The inflation has turned into hyper inflation... Last week an item that was worth 5 mill is now worth 30+ mill. Items that were 5mill a week after launch are now 350+ mill.

I simply can't imagine how far this will go.
